i watch you, as your chest heaves in and out,
rythmically and evenly, consoling my fears and making me smile

i love to watch you, when all the worries in your life cease to be
when you lie in my arms and close your eyes

you can't fake a smile when you're asleep
i can see the real you,
and it's so goddamn beautiful that i just want to kiss you into nothingness

you smell so heavenly that i wish they had an ice-cream flavor
that tasted like you

my fingers run through your hair and i smile
feeling each strand as it's a piece of you
a tiny portion of you, and each one makes part of you,
and it makes me smile

i love you, i love your faults and i love your happiness
and the only thing i wish right now was that you were here
and i was smiling down at you, once more

and you were asleep, smiling your genuine smile
and dreaming of us, together.

and i had my fingers in your hair and you were sighing softly

something about you sleeping is sexy,
it makes the sweetness of you come out and shine to the world,
causing me to stay awake

but i dont' mind, i love to watch you
i love to hear you, so calm and young
so much younger than you are, and so serene

it makes me feel content to see you asleep,
peaceful and without a care

it makes me love you more, and you absently take my hand in yours
and i beam, thinking how lucky i am just to be in your prescence,
whether anyone else can see it or not.

you are mine and i am yours
and that is all that matters in this world right now,
the world of ours where you are part of me and i am part of you.

the world where nobody can make us cry,
or seperate us
the world where everything is sleep,
and sleep is tranquil and perfect,
dreams are never haunting
and you are always there beside me, breathing.

just breathing.
